re: LSU was 4-0 lifetime vs. Lou Holtz

It's a shame most of you don't have a clue about the accomplishments of Lou Holtz.

- Only coach in history to take 6 different programs to bowl games
- Took over a N.C. St. program in 1972 that was coming off of three straight losing seasons and had been to something like 2 bowl games in the previous 20 years. He proceeded to go 31-11-2 and take them to 4 straight bowl games.
- Took over Arkansas in 1977 and proceeded to go 60-21-2 and go to bowl games in 6 of his 7 seasons there.
- Took over a Minnesota team that had won only 2 games combined in the prev. 2 seasons. Holtz promptly took them to a winning record and bowl game in his only season there.
- In his first six seasons @ ND, he went 64-9-1 w/a NC in 1988 and should have had another in 1993, having only one loss and handing Florida St. their only loss. In a sympathy vote for Bobby Bowden, Fl.St. was awarded the NC. He took ND to 9 straight bowl games, a ND record. Keep in mind ND took on all comers back then: Florida St., Miami (both programs in their heyday), Penn St., USC, Texas, Ohio St., Tenn., Michigan, Alabama, LSU, TX A&M, Colorado, Washington and Florida were teams ND played one or more times while Holtz was the HC. SEVEN of these programs won at least one NC during Holtz's tenure @ ND. Pretty much a "who's-who" of college football programs during that era.
- At South Carolina, a program hardly known for their football success, he took over a team that had gone 1-10. After an initial 0-11 season, he took them to 8-4 and 9-3 seasons and back-to-back Outback Bowl wins. This at a school that has had little football success and few bowl games in their history. Say what you will about Lou Holtz as an announcer, but he was a great football coach.

Hey Lou, say it dont spray it homie!
